Operators deploying more 4K set-top boxes than ever

The global installed base for 4K set top boxes has grown to 31 million units, at the end of 2017, compared to only three million units in 2015.

This is according to Dataxis’ recently concluded update, which shows that operators around the world are deploying more and more 4K boxes, reflected in the global numbers.

Europe is growing at the fastest rate accounting for 52 per cent of the total 4K boxes in 2017, followed by Asia-Pacific excluding China (32 per cent), North and Latin America (five per cent), Middle-East (four per cent) and Africa (one per cent).
